Japanese Culture
Tradition and Modernism
Starting from the question of what is genuinely Japanese about Japanese culture and what is culturally conditioned, Florian Coulmas shows what distinguishes contemporary Japanese culture from others and clarifies what is meant by culture: everyday behaviour and social relations (manners, kinship, etc.); values and convictions (especially religious); institutions such as the annual cycle, school or the company; and finally forms of material culture (including clothing and fashion, housing and architecture, food and aesthetics).
The main focus is on the peculiarities of Japanese culture, which have proved to be relatively stable and have appeared in various epochs. The analysis of the spiritual background of cultural traditions thus makes it possible to understand behaviours, values and forms of aesthetic design that have given today's hyper-modern Japan its own unique place in an increasingly globalised world.
